In this video we take a look back at the careers of the 5 fastest Men's 100m sprinters ever and breakdown the best executed race of their careers as well as a race where they performed below their capabilities with poor execution.
@@kylitrixgames4980 Then how did Asafa Powell only run 9.95 and finish 5th in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and then run a 9.72 less than a month later in a Golden League race. Pressure, nerves, and confidence on race day makes a huge difference for people like Powell, who struggled under high pressure championship races. Such pressure can throw off race mechanics and execution.
@@onekidband5211 it has nothing to do with confidence, nor with pressure or stress. Them tensing up in the last 40m has to do with the great desire of winning and by the big competition running next to him. When Powell sees Usain Bolt almost passing him in the last 40m, he tries to 'push even harder', which will only slow you down even faster in those last 30 meters. And thus, the only fault here is powell's training, as he did not learn to focus on himself only and lost to his own mind of minding his own race.
@@kylitrixgames4980 The example you gave demonstrated that it was pressure and stress of Bolt (or Gay in this video) that caused Powell to tense up. Better focus and relaxation are just the solutions to the aforementioned problems.
Blake is the second best sprinter in world history. I can't take anything from him. He was a special athlete. I wish he had that durability like Gatlin but that is sports for you. Injury derails you.
Good video. You can make your video more interesting by not sounding so bored. Use some tone changes in your voice. Watch some Total running production video for example.
